3001 Pounds of Groceries!

Wow! You did it. You contributed 3001 pounds of groceries to Arlington Food Pantry. This is 50% increase over 2016 contributions. Please pat yourselves on the back for your efforts. The goal was arbitrary but showed the importance of a goal. What should our gal be for 2018?

Walkways are for pedestrians not vehicles

The Campus Renewal Committee has noticed that our walkways are suffering from the weight of vehicles. Please do not drive vehicles on our walkways. It causes cracking and heaving. A hand truck is available to assist with carrying heavy or bulky items to your vehicle. Please see church staff for the location of the hand truck.
